About: What sets me apart is that I focus on being consistent, attentive, and calm with every pet I care for. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual routine and personality, so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I’m also patient with different needs, whether that’s energetic puppies who need structure and playtime or older pets who may need a slower pace and extra care. I make sure communication with pet owners is clear and reliable so they always know how their pet is doing. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I’m very organized and consistent with my schedule. I’m comfortable handling feeding, walking, cleaning, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so fitting pet care into my weekly routine feels rewarding rather than stressful. I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and cared for by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home or a client’s home, I focus on feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and giving them attention and companionship. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level to make sure they’re happy and stress-free. If the owner has specific instructions, I always follow them carefully to make sure their pet receives the best care possible.
“Absolutely wonderful sitter. Kay has excellent communication and I felt very comfortable leaving my baby overnight with Kay. She went above and beyond and even cleaned up for me. I would 100% recommend Kay and look forward to booking her again.”

“Heather did a great job giving us updates and keeping all of our animals happy and safe. Even had to deal with a local power outage with no issues. Definitely will book again!”

About: I have flexible availability, and I work from home most days - to ensure my pups, and yours, will be able to get all of the attention and love they deserve! I've gone through dog training with my own dogs, and my border collie is an aspiring therapy dog and she often accompanies everywhere I go. I am fortunate enough to work primarily from home and can accommodate early drop offs and late pick ups during the week! Available most weekends. When your animals are here with us, they are fully integrated into the family. There will be lots of walks, cuddles, kisses and have full access to our home as if they are one of my own animals ❤️ *we recently put in a fence, so your pups will have more room to play and can stay safe! I have two dogs of my own, Boon & Tristney. They are both lovers, but Boon is still a puppy, so he loves to play! Tristney, she loves love, hugs, and belly rubs. She's a shy girl and likely won't play, but always enjoys a companion on our daily walks. We also have a cat- but he spends most of his time outside. Its unlikely he'll make an appearance, but when he does it's mainly for dinner. As a 22 pound cat, he never misses a meal. If I am not home at anytime I do have a teen and a husband that help fill in any gaps of time. The two of them are also big animal lovers and are incredibly helpful.
“Levi spent the weekend at my house with my two dogs and I was very pleased with how it all went. It rained all weekend long AND there were tornado watches. One of my dogs gets pretty anxious with thunder but I felt good knowing she had Levi here with her. He was very communicative with me throughout the weekend. He even called me to let me know that we had some water in our basement from the storm and asked what he could do to help with it! I'd say he went over and above. House was tidy upon our return and the dogs were in good spirits. I've already booked another stay with Levi for July.”

“Shannon has been with my dogs twice now. First time was as a drop in visit and second time was house sitting for 4 days. She kept me updated throughout the time I was away as well as kept my dogs very happy. They loved being with her and I was pleased with her care for my dogs. Shannon will now be my regular pet sitter as she is available and willing!”
“Carolyn is thoughtful and attentive to both her two and four legged clients. She checks in with us and sends pics of our pups. They love when she comes to visit and we feel so comfortable leaving them with her!”

About: I have taken care of pets my entire life from guinea pigs to elderly dogs. I am a graduate from the University of Michigan and am studying at Tufts for the next two years. I dog sat after school for a while and took care of puppies, elderly pets, and bunnies. I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am busy on Wednesdays, but my weekends and others days of the week are much more flexible. Afternoons are always best but I can make things work! I cannot provide pet care in my home, but I can come to you! I have experience helping older dogs, active, large dogs, giving dogs and cats medication, trimming claws, and going on runs or walks.

About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs for the past 5 years, varying from Great Danes, English Mastiff's, and even including smaller breeds such as Shihtzu's. I am attending mott as a student for EMT, the schooling takes place in the mornings, so I should be available basically any time after 3pm. We have an invisible fence with buzz collars, so they dont shock the animals. I have also dealt with a Rottweiler that needed to be in a crate at night.
“I'm truly thankful to have met and hired Yushonda. I have watched over 100 dogs, and I mean it when I say she is a step above everyone else. Mara is dog aggressive and dismissive of people and very slow to build trust. Yushonda would not settle for good enough or merely being present in the house. She strived and worked hard to build that trust, working with Mara, making her presence known, and building trust at Mara's pace. I was shocked to hear Mara got comfortable enough to jump right in bed on the first night. I had expected at the end of the stay for our dog to maybe allow pets, instead she made a great new friend by the first day and asked for belly rubs, something she only does for 3 people. Yushonda instilled trust not only in Mara but also us. Without her, we would have not been able to have gone on our trip and been able to see family, relax, and be at ease. Send Yushonda a message, you and your fur baby will not regret it or think about hiring someone else. I am so happy to know we have someone that will care about our baby as much as we do. I'm so thankful to finally have someone I can whole heartedly recommend, with full confidence, to watch my client's pets and know she will live up to that recommendation and always go above and beyond.”

“Communicated very well while we were on our trip. Our boy seemed to be well taken care of. Would have given her 5 stars but my husband heard her talking poorly about our dog on our ring camera so that just gave us an unsettling feeling the rest of our trip.”


About: ive worked with dogs of all ages and breeds since ive been young. i can not wait to sharw my love with your fur babies. working with animals has always been a dream of mine. working on going to school to be more involved with animals…i give all my time now to animals such a ferals and rescue kittens. your pet will be showered with love and be given potty breaks as need be. they will be taken on walks and played with regularly.
About: Caring for dogs is such a joy!! When able to I love offering runs to pups and car rides and couch days for my senior pals . I have a good understanding of doggy car safety and pay close attention to my furry friends even when outside for potty breaks ! I’ve got lots of free time as I just quit my full time job to spend more time at home with my senior pups and teenager! I would care for your babes with the carefree fun of your favorite auntie but the watchful eye of a helicopter mom! You can trust me to put your pets best interest 1st but also know if an accident were to happen I’d be able to jump to action with first aid care or a quick drive for help and FULL CLEAR COMMUNICATION.
“Cindy was fantastic! She went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby felt comfortable while we were away. She was professional, punctual and made us feel 100% at ease while we were away. Highly recommended ❤️”

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. We've always had at least one dog in our household and also currently live with a cat. I have also walked other dogs and have taken care of dogs here on my own. I currently am unemployed and am not yet in school so my schedule is completely open. The only issue that I might have for these next few months would be an issue with scheduling with the rest of my household. I have experience handling large and small dogs and do not get worried if the dog gets worked up. I am very aware of how empathetic dogs are and can remain calm. I also can keep to a schedule and give pets the love and care they need and deserve.

FAQs for House Sitting - Burt
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burt on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 283 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burt. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Burt walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Burt maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Burt choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
